Internship opportunities are available at Appalachia Star Farm.  We are looking for 1-2 people (couples are welcome) to live on the farm and assist in all aspects of growing and marketing vegetables.  Internships are available from mid-March through October.  We are flexible about staring dates and length of stay, however, we would appreciate commitments of at least 2 months. 

What we are looking for:

Singles, couples, or friends who have a willingness to work hard and learn a lot.  Most of the work on our farm is done by hand, so there is plenty of physical exertion involved - not to mention all kinds of weather conditions to deal with.  However, we have a lot of fun and we enjoy the benefits of working in the outdoors.  While we have plenty of on-farm work to do, interns will also have the opportunity to participate in markets, CSA delivery, and farm events.  We expect interns to work 5-6 days a week and 8 hours per day.  Days off may vary according to the needs of the farm, however Sundays will always be off.

What we offer: 

- $400/month + $50/month bonus after three months
- Housing options: Tent platform or camper with kitchen
- Unlimited vegetables from the farm
- Hands-on skills building and educational instruction in all aspects of the farm from seeding, transplanting, weeding, and harvesting to CSA and Farmer's Market marketing and management. 
- Field trips to other area sustainable farms
